PREFACE

' Mater Graccliorum ' is published at the request
of teachers who attended the Summer School of
Latin at Bangor. The play was written to serve
as a reading-book for an Upper Tliird Form during
the second and third terms of the year in which
Latin was begun. A year's course of lessons in
Roman History had preceded the learning of Latin.
All the work of the class (frequent drill in grammar,
oral work by question and answer, and simple-
sentence construction) was based upon the text of
the play.

' Gemini ' was similarly used in a class of younger
girls during the second term of the first year.

Sheffield High School for Girls.
